Frequently Asked Questions

No! We accept any volunteers as long as they agree to keep all members safe, anonymous, and worry free. If you're an ally with a passion for helping those just starting their journey we welcome you!

Why do i need reliable internet access?

RESCQU NET is an online organization. We cater to people all over the nation and in some cases around the world. Although many of us are in Colorado, we heavily rely on Google hangouts, and other online tools to function and you must have access to them.

What if i don't have reliable access?

Unfortunately, without reliable access you won't be able to participate in developing or maintaining any of our programs which require a computer and strong access. You can still help in other capacities though such as donating your time, creating content for our weekly digest, and blogs, or by canvasing your communities to attain volunteers or support for us :)

For more information just email our Executive Director Samantha at Samantha@rescqu.net!

What is the closet question about?

As long as you have a strong internet connection, our organization caters to the needs of stealth, closeted, questioning, and under-supported individuals so we welcome you to volunteer. Unfortunately however it can sometimes limit your capacity. You can't show up in a video of ours for instance. We want to know where you are so we can respect that and not infringe on your privacy in this organization.

What does each department do?

Thanks for asking! This is a big question so we have create﻿d a table for you, below this form that will help you guide your decision on what you'd like to do for the organization. Take a look at it and if you have any further questions contact our volunteer coordinator at Hope@rescqu.net if you have further questions.

Can i volunteer if i'm stealth, or closeted?

Absolutely! Our organization welcomes the voices of the invisible communities which for us includes the stealth, closeted, questioning or unsupported individuals of the LGBT+ community.
